Powers/Abilities: Sabraman can shoot radioactive rays from his eyes
(strong enough to penetrate 15 cm thick titanium), can fly fast enough to
cross an ocean in a split-second, and surround himself with a magnetic force
field that prevents anyone from attacking him. He is strong enough to bend
metal with ease, and can teleport.

History: Sabraman was given his super powers by the superagency of
Israel. In 1975 that agency implanted atomic rod in the chests of 28 super
agents, giving each one powers far beyond normal men. The 18th agent to undergo
the procedure was Dan Bar On, a former policeman who was a holocaust survivor
and had fought in the 1956 war, the Six Day War and the Yom Kipur War of
1973. When they implanted the rod in him, the vast powers of the rod were
unleashed and there was an explosion which destroyed the entire laboratory.
Fifteen people were killed in that explosion, but Bar-On himself survived
with the rod still inside him. It was later found that he had developed powers
greater than any of his counterparts. Dubbed Sabraman, he fought villains
such as the Nazi scientist Dr.Mengele, and became a hero of Israel.
